It complains that it can not save a file in the private/tmp/501...
directory. I have tried running the program on three different
machines (just in case the filesystem was corrupted on one) and get
the same message. The application was working last week and no new
software has been installed! This is very weird?
Enter
ls -l /private
at a Terminal prompt.
You should see a line that reads something like
drwxrwxrwt <number> root wheel <number> <date> tmp
If the folder doesn't exist, create it with
sudo mkdir -m 1777 /private/tmp
sudo chown root.wheel /private/tmp
If the permissions aren't drwxrwxrwt, then you need to change them using
sudo chmod 1777 /private/tmp
Also check that 501 directory has appropriate permissions and ownership
(it should be owned by user 501, which is probably your UID, and should
have at least drwx at the beginning of the permission string). If the
directory exists but has the wrong permissions, try
sudo chown 501 /private/tmp/501
chmod u=rwx /private/tmp/501
If that doesn't fix it, try deleting the 501 directory completely.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
